Is the Rear Brake on the Left or Right?
1 Answers
On scooters, the right handlebar position is for the front brake, and the left handlebar position is for the rear brake. Below is relevant information about braking: Purpose: To decelerate, which can mean reducing speed or bringing the vehicle to a complete stop. Classification: Emergency braking—when performing emergency braking, be mindful of the risk of rear-end collisions from vehicles behind. This situation is common in urban driving. If the vehicle in front stops suddenly, after emergency braking, try to ease off the brake slightly to allow the vehicle to roll forward a bit, giving the following vehicle some buffer space. Daily braking—it’s common to see many beginners brake abruptly, causing the vehicle to jerk. The root cause of this phenomenon is improper use of the brakes. The force applied when braking matters—the correct approach is to start with light pressure, gradually increase it, then decrease it again until the vehicle comes to a complete stop, ideally reaching zero pressure at the moment of stopping. This is the most effective braking technique, ensuring passenger comfort and effectively preventing motion sickness.
